It should be PCI Express video card but there have been a few AGP 7600 gt's made, anyway first you want to find out if you have the right slot for the card, im going to assume its PCI Express because AGP versions are very rare.

Look for a slot that looks the the PCI Express 16x slot in that picture and put the card into it, if it has something in it already then take it out and if you cant find a slot that looks like that then you might have to take the video card back. Ignore the colors of the slots in the picture different companies use different colors but black is most common, also it is usually the longest slot.

Like I said if it doesnt look like it will fit in any of the slots then you cant use it...
